Olil Satan was lnokin iiiilo solemn anil luni While making a survey of the liinil. He Celt his business nil (,'niiij; on the limn; There were no deeds (if darkness at hnnd. Tho Lord hail been untlieriiifr more hoiiU than lie hail, AllliotieJi he looked early mid late with vim, Tho peace that was reij;iiin;r supreme in the world Was quite irritating to him. "If I can manage to pull oft' mi:uc '. stunt," Smiled old Kalan, "to even the score, And teach the vain world to appre ciate inc." So, you sec, old Satan was sore. lie cast his dark eye over this still sleeping world While the lights were flushing; out over the laud. Then lie tore the black clouds with his furious breath, In desperation us he planned. He hatched up n scheme so eternnllv dark rilled with coal black murder ami spite, And he carried it out with infinite en se Thniiifjh the solemn mid deep purple shinies of the niitlit. For abode, be eliosc the Mexican soil Where scorpions ,r vcurs bine fed, Where luui-.urils wheel hie.li in the coppery s': And the centipedes crawl o'er the dead. le carried the bulk to bis broad kneading board And lie kneaded it up nic e mid fine. And to make it mold belter, he dipped Ins biu" list lu the dnrk, lunjid flow ul" the Kbine. 'Chroiih the dark niuhl, he worked mid be grinned, And be reviewed the dark lilies of bis plan, men ne molded ii up to a semninncc, at lensl (If a real, honct-to tiod white man. Then he turns to the earth for n fin ishing touch, Where the African juimle stream wind. And there, in the lirh! of the still early dawn A enhra! The luckiest find! lie placed in I lie ho-uin of his r.-ii I iiiasterpicee The heart of the reptile, then rroilouiieinu it perfect, ill it breathed lite, And lii-hold! A leader of men! Anil Ih" imp Is they wept; old Satan lln laughed ; Ho cheered with heathenish nice. Then he chose hliu a place on (!cr niaiiv's soil. Ami? I'M-slvl The kaiser you see PROGEESS OF THE BATTLE. FOR fifty days t lie allies have conducted an offensive covering ilie weslei-n front from Yprcs to Kheims. Focb lias rained liainiiicr Mows tit vital points nil along the extended line, first here, then there, never giving the enemy time to reform or recuperate hut steadily smashing on, msing np (ierman reserves and forcing a re tirement that may eventually become a major disaster dependant upon (Ierman morale. The -German offensive left the Bochc in many awk ward salients, positions valuable on an offensive hut, promising disaster in a defensive. Skillful generalship lias enabled the Germans thus far to preserve their am ies intact, though their losses total .150,000 prisoners, 2,500 guns and enormous (plant ities of munitions and probably 500,000 casualties. Foch has been able to do this through a united com mand and a constantly increasing American reserve. The effect of the coming of America and the proof of Ameri can valor its displayed on the Marue was to strengthen the morale of all the allies and convince them that victory lay in their grasp, that their cause was unbeatable. They al ways fought valient ly and stubbornly but now they j'ight victoriously imbued with the spirit of victory. The Germans are now righting stubbornly but hopelessly, with their best troops sacrificed for German greed. The vital sectors of the bill tie line far outstripping all others in importance is the Canadian-British drive for Catnbrai and the French-American drive for Laon. The British have already broken thru the second Hinden burg or Wotan line on a wide front and are steadily ad vancing. The lrench are almost on the Ilindenburg line north of Woissoiis and slowly advancing. These two drives are outflanking the entire German defense system from the Belgian coast to Verdun. Between these sectors, the allied advance is for the purpose of harassing the enemy and preventing an orderly retreat. Flanked from both ends, the Germans must withdraw on a grand scale. Numerous defense lines have been con structed to delay the allied pursuit but a retreat all filong the line to the line of the Mease is probable and it will be the greatest military disaster in history. Only unfavorable weather conditions can prevent it.' It wiil have to be made very rapidly to enable the Germans to make a .stand on their new line before winter sets in and the time for rear guard actions will be limited. Beyond all question thousands of prisoners and guns will be left in the hands of the allies anil unheard-of quantities of. mu nitions destroyed to prevent their falling into enemy hands. Such a retreat will be confession of German failure and break forever the military prestige of Germany, be sides shattering (ierman inorale.

Take a handful of its golden-brown granules' and hold it in a strong light.. You will see lit tle shining particles on each granule a result of the Grape-Nut process of cookery, which turns the starch of wheat and barley into ac tual sugar. The sweet, nutty flavor of Grape-Nuts re quires no added sugar and where fresh milk or cream is not obtainable condensed, or evap orated milk fits iij finely. No sugar is needed, and but little cream or milk, and this makes Grape-Nuts a very desir able cereal these saving days.
